For 30 weeks each year from 2004-2007 Moffatt Oxenbould was engaged by ABC Classic FM to prepare and present Opera programs on Sunday night on Classic FM - an hour long magazine program followed by a complete opera broadcast.

After the death of Dame Joan Sutherland in 2010 he was asked to prepare and present two programs - a personal tribute and reminiscence and a program about Dame Joan's Australian repertoire.
